Chapter 100 The Volunteer Army was on the rise, and Peng Dehuai ordered to stop the pursuit

Under the continuous attack of the Chinese and North Korean troops, the United Nations Army was knocked out. Li Qiwei ordered a retreat, but the United Nations army fled. In his memoirs, Li Qiwei described how his army fled south from the 38th parallel: South Korean troops flocked southward in a steady stream of trucks.They have no order, no weapons, no leadership, and are in complete retreat. They had only one thought - to get as far away from the Chinese army as possible. Ha ha, the whole product of the three nos (no order, no weapons, no leadership). Li Qiwei was in a hurry, he jumped out of the car, stood in the middle of the road, and raised his arms high to see if he could stop the fleeing United Nations army.As a result, a car seemed to circle around him on purpose, without even slowing down, it jumped past him.

Finally, a car stopped, but the officer on the truck didn't seem to understand what he said, and didn't obey his command at all. He waved his hand, started the car, and ran forward. Li Qiwei was extremely disappointed. In fact, it was Li Qiwei's good luck. It's pretty good that these fleeing vehicles didn't treat him like Lieutenant General Walker, the former commander of the 8th Army. By January 8, the Chinese and North Korean troops had advanced 80 to 110 kilometers, driving the United Nations forces to the vicinity of the 37th parallel.During these seven days, Chinese and North Korean troops killed or wounded 19,000 United Nations troops.

At this moment, Peng Dehuai gave an order: Stop chasing.
